Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies

Currently listening to: A Very She & Him Christmas
What I should be doing instead of this: Filling out my DSHR app for the Red Cross

     This is a very very very very very easy recipe. I enjoy an easy recipe, especially when it yields a yummy result.






Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies
(Recipe taken from the side of a Duncan Hines cake box)
Yeild: 2 1/2 dozen


1 box of Dark Chocolate Fudge cake mix
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup melted butter (let it cool a bit)
2 eggs
Half bag (or 3/4 of the bag if you're like me) of Nestle's dark chocolate and mint chips


Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Yeah!


Step 2
    Throw all these ingredients together in a medium bowl and mix. Wow, wasn't that easy! But wait, make sure the butter isn't piping hot when it mixes with the eggs, we wouldn't want scrambled eggs in our cookies now would we? Unless that's the flavor that you're going for, then go for it...

Can I have some now please?

Step 2

    Place the cookies on a cookie sheet giving them a good distance between each other, these cookies spread out pretty far. Look at my picture if you want a good reference (as I am not good at estimating measurements).

Step 3
     Cook the cookies for about 10 minutes, which will give you a pretty chewy cookie with a crispy edge. Be sure to remove these cookies from the pan pretty quickly as it can make the bottoms a bit too overcooked.

Now there you have some speedy minty and chocolate-y cookies! I love this chocolate cookie recipe because I can change out the chips...peanut butter chips, semisweet chips, white chocolate chips... All the possibilities!
